★★SpecialtyProperly excellent

Bull St0.2 mi from City Centre centrelast reviewed April 2026

Brunch fills the room, but the coffee holds its own: a house blend from an unnamed Bristol roaster, three origins deep, with tasting notes that swing from chocolate and fudge in espresso to vanilla, raspberry and cream in filter. Beans are sold to take home too.

A Birmingham brunch spot where the espresso tastes like fudge and the filter tastes like raspberry.

What we love

  • A three-origin house blend, Brazil, Peru and El Salvador, sourced direct-trade through a Bristol roaster
  • Tasting notes differ by brew method: chocolate and fudge in espresso, vanilla, raspberry and cream in filter
  • Filter served alongside espresso, not just the standard flat white
  • Beans sold to take home

The Coffee Bar Collective★★ Specialty

Ask for the hand pour. Staff walk you through origin, process, and what to taste, and if there's a co-fermented or non-standard lot on the bar, that's the one.

Faculty Coffee★★ Specialty

Square Mile beans in the Piccadilly Arcade, with filter on the menu and retail bags for the walk home. The city centre's most serious pour.

200 Degrees Coffee Shop & Barista School★★ Specialty

The barista school runs out of this building on Colmore Row, using beans from their own Nottingham roastery. Two things that make the coffee knowledge behind the counter current and earned.
